We think being slow by nature is of mighty importance. It’s why we take our time brewing our lagers and it’s why we’re smack dab in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Much like the people mentioned above who left their marks on all of us, our brewery’s mission respects the inalienable rights of man, and we want to celebrate these with each and every one of our patrons.

From our small-batch wines to our masterfully constructed event venues, luxury getaway rentals and country estates, Mount Ida Reserve is a destination within Charlottesville.

Set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia, Blue Mountain opened in 2007 as the region’s first rural brewery. Today, we’re still focused on making an inspired range of the highest-quality beers that can be enjoyed at our two locations in beautiful Nelson County, or in bottles and cans throughout Virginia and beyond.
